Lawyer L. w. Wilcox, the grizzled
veteran of Titusville, who was Injured
by stepping from moving train at
Cory, the other day, is the leading
character in this serio-comic incident
which has never before been printed:
Ministers were a trife scarce in a
Grand Army of the Republic post up
the creek Of which Wilcox was a
member, and he was elected chaplain
His chief duty was to open the meet
ings with prayer, and never having set
himself up as praying man, the
prayer was printed on card so he
could get through with it with less
mental effort. Wilcox carried the
card around in his pocket with his
tobacco and things, and when he came
to use it for the first time the printing
was considerably obscured. After the
meeting had been called to order Cap.
tain Wilcox stepped to the front, took
out his card, and began to scrutinize il
closely. He regarded it carefully for
moment, and tkcn began to read, de-
ciphering the printing with much diff.
ficulty. 20 Lord" he began, so as to
get the best possible light on it, 80

Women as street-Cicancrs.

In several of the South American
countries-notably Chill and the Ar
gentine Republic-women are en-
ployed to sweep the streets, This plan
was first adopted by the Government
of Chill when most all the men in the
Republic were engaged in the subjuga-
ton of Peru, but it proved so success
full that it was not only continued, but
was adopted in the adjoining Repub-
lie. Contracts are let to women or to
men, as the case may be, for keeping
a portion of the city clean, and every
morning ut about 3 o'clock gangs of
women go out with their brooms and
sweep the dirt into large piles, when it
is gathered up by men with carts who
follow them. The contracts are small,
and the territory to be swept by each
contractor does not amount to more
than mile of our pavement. The
streets are paved with Belgian block
like Fifth avenue. and are always as
clean in the morning as a dairy floor.

Farmers Read Thisl

There are thousands Of old Lewis
and Junior Buckeye mowers that are
either already laid aside, or soon will
be, by reason of the cutting apparatus
being worn out from long use.
Although the gearing is in good
enough condition to wear out another
set Of guards and knives. The
same is also true of new Buckeye
mowers just out ten years ago. To
put these machines in good working
order we are prepared to furnish
moaoing attachments consisting Of cutter
bar (417 6in) a0ihh guards, Shoes, track
clearer and f70o kniues boxed and de-
Hve,ed on the cars at Akron Ohto or
State head quarters fer $25 90
On account of the uncertainty of
the demand for the attachments they
will not be kept in stock, except at
the important transfer agencies but
will be furnished promptly on orders.
In ordering care should be taken 10
STATE whether Lewis, New Junior, or
Buckeye attachments are wanted.
Any person who owns an old Buck
eye mower no matter how old, will
see that by getting one Of these new
improved attachments; his machine
will be as good or better than many
of the new mowers offered for sale
at the present day. Address orders

ment will be ready for you when you

The State Printing.

The State printing establishment
at Lansing has become one OF much
public importance. Like all other
State expenditures that Of the print
ing has been reduced to or below
living rates, while The value Of the
plant is necessarily large. The pres
ent public printers obtained the con-
tract at the letting in 1885, and the
contract is to be re let for the years
1888 and 1880 next month. The
term Of the contract is too brief and
should be extended. Messrs. Thorp
& Godfrey invested at Lansing more
than $40, 900 in their establishment,
while the receipts for State printing
under their present contract have
fallen below actual expenses nearly
$40, 700. AT the same time, despite
the ability and efficiency of their
noted predecessors, it is due Mr.. Cod
frey, who has been the business man
ager of the firm, that the fact that
the State printing has never been as
we'll or more promptly done than
under the present management should
be known; and this fact ought to
have its influence in determining
who are to be the contractors for the
coming two years.
Personally we know that the pint.
ing required by the present legisla-
ture has been much larger than usual,
and yet the Daily Journal was never
before, in the thirty two years that
we have been about the halls Of leg
islation, delivered as promptly or
been as free of errors as during this
session; fact that it gives US great
pleasure to- note, as it was thought
perfection had been reached under
the preceding administration; and
what is true of the Daily Journal is
substantially true Of all the other
printing which the Legislature has
ordered. With an establishment to
manage, as intricate as is the State
printing department, employing a
force requiring a pay roll of $I,ao
week, we think too much credit
for the prompt and efficient manner
IN which the State work has been
done despite the fact that the con-
tract does not pay running expenses
cannot be given Mr.. Godfrey, and
that in re-letting the contract the
manner in which the work under the
present contract has been done
should be taken into account by the
board OF auditors in determining who
are in fact the lowest bidders, or in
other words who for the least expen-
diture will do the State the most and
best work.
